About Cutsforth Park

Cutsforth Park is located about 20 miles southeast of Heppner, Oregon on the
Willow Creek Road (Blue
Mountain Scenic Byway) at the boundary of the 1.4 million-acre Umatilla
National Forest. There's a dining hall with kitchen and fireplace, a picnic area
and gazebo for large and small groups, a children's playground with play
equipment, restroom facilities with showers, trails for hiking, horse pens,
horseshoe pits and both a stocked pond and a stream for fishing. There are
full and partial RV hookup sites, tent sites, and two cabins. There is no freeway nearby so tent campers should find it quiet. We are
not restricted to certain areas of the park, but are free to walk our llamas
anywhere.

Aside from the tent camping areas, two cabins are available nearby.
These cabins are 10' X 16' with bunks (bring your own bedroll or linen for the
mattress). There is no electricity or running water in the cabins but they
do have propane heat and lights. (Note: The propane heater can heat the cabin
very warm.) Use of the heater or lights requires
bringing your own propane bottle or renting one on site ($5/day). Cabin
rental is $37.50 for the weekend.

Registration

Please complete and submit a PLTA Event Entry form and Waiver
form as soon as possible so we can plan the events and ensure class
support. It's okay to submit your entry form electronically to
RRR and pay the
entry fee at the event.

The grass area near the playground and tent camping area
(section D) has been reserved for the event. Please
contact the park
service to reserve a specific camp site and let them know you are part of the
llama group. You are not restricted to section D but have the option of
staying in a full service or cabin site.

We do intend to have a scale set up for weighing llamas and
packs, but it's recommended to also weigh llamas in advance if possible as
backup.
